b. Connect the CO2 tubing to Nasal and Nasal/Oral Sidestream Kits.
c. Inserting the sample cell into the receptacle automatically starts the sampling pump.
Removal of the sample cell turns the sample pump off.
d. To remove the sampling kit sample cell from the sample cell receptacle, press down on
the locking tab and pull the sample cell from the sample cell receptacle.
DIRECTIONS
For use of single patient use nasal and nasal/oral sidestream kits
CAUTION:
The Nasal and Nasal/Oral Cannula kits are intended for single patient use. Do
NOT reuse or sterilize the cannula kit as system performance will be compromised.
1. Verify that the cannula kit is clean, dry and undamaged. Replace the cannula kit if
necessary.
2. Insert the sample cell into the sample cell receptacle as shown in above figure on
connecting
the Sample Kit section. A “click” will be heard when properly inserted.
3. Perform a sample cell zero if prompted by the host system.
4. Place the nasal cannula kits onto the patient as shown in following figure.
5. Some patients are prone to mouth breathing. The Oral/Nasal sampling cannula
should be used on these patients, as most, if not all of the CO
2
is exhaled through the
mouth. If a standard nasal CO
2
sampling cannula is used with these patients, the
EtCO
2
number and capnogram will be substantially lower than actual.
6. When using the Nasal or Oral/Nasal CO
2
sampling kits with oxygen delivery, place
the cannula on the patient and then attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen
delivery system and set the prescribed oxygen flow.
7. If the oral/nasal cannula is used, the oral sampling tip may need to be trimmed to
adequately fit the patient (see following figure). Place the cannula onto the patient as
shown in above figure. Observe the length of the oral cannula tip. It should extend
down past the teeth and be positioned in the mouth opening. Remove the cannula
from the patient if the tip needs to be trimmed.
CAUTION:
DO NOT cut the oral cannula tip when the cannula is on the patient.
CAUTION:
Remove the sampling kit sample cell from the CO
2
Module Inlet Port when not
been use.
